Could Manuela Ferreira Leite run for president?

It is possible that Manuela Ferreira Leite, former leader of the PSD, could be one of the candidates running for president in the 2016 Portuguese elections.

On Thursday, she made an appearance on “Política Mesmo”, which was shown on television on TVI24. There, she avoided all questions which could offer some sort of hint as to her running for president. However, she did give off a mysterious smile which left people in suspicion. She also added comments such as “I didn’t hear your question” and “I believe your time is up” in order to derail probing journalists.

At the end, she made it known that she would give a public announcement on TVI should she have anything further to add to the subject.
